More videos coming soon all! I'm hoping to get into a more regular posting groove, but you know....*gestures above* burnout happens 😭
And now it's been 1 year since your last video💀
This is a hard pill to swallow when I feel so far behind EVERYONE else, but fighting off burnout and imposter syndrome can be dealt with in similar ways. Great vid and great work as always.
UGH YEAH that feeling behind feeling is why I don't take enough breaks too...and it's probably counter-productive, but tell that to your lizard brain haha
Oh my god thank you SO MUCH, this video came at the perfect time! I'm definitely suffering from burnout right now and I definitely have an issue with going on "fake breaks" fhdjgkdfh (also your art is GORGEOUS!! i love your style!!)
ty so much ;v;
This was literally the most relatable video ever, in my finals week of college I physically couldn't pick up my stylus so all my friends said "f" it and we went skateboarding ALL weekend, never thinking about art than we came back and had the most successful finals week cause we finally turned off our art brains
I’m burned out but my heart yearns to create shit again. I find Traditional art to be therapeutic/ pen and paper : Magic happens, but when I try to translate that energy digitally- it begins to feel laborious. Maybe I should reconsider my work space.
Well, this was actually quite a nice video! I can totally relate to the feeling of "not working when you should be", cuz every single time I shut down my laptop I think to myself... "Well, I should've done this, but now I'm just losing my time!". Going outside is always very helpful, as it actually keeps me distracted from thinking about art (and specifically about my webcomic).
This was so good Megan! 100% agree with everything you said ✨
Haha, love your editing style :D Great advice too!
I'm so glad I'm not alone in feeling the toxic productivity mindset! I'm always imagining this version of me in a suit that always feels the need to draw, even in the suit! ]"Time's a-ticking and dont be slacking" type pf vibe. I was the same way when job hunting. I'd be on the bus on job boards and constantly applying while waiting for the bus to arrive
This was really validating and I hope you're doing better now. Don't eat any berries though :D
HAHA thank you! Noted do not eat the tree
I hope you get a good rest. Your work inspires me. Have a great day.
This is exactly my problem, it’s so damn hard to make the brain stop thinking about it!
But I notice when I’m completely not thinking about it I get the best ideas! Gotta hack around my brain to make it work how I want XD
"Smell a tree" at this point why not😓💀
Unless you have allergies maybe. Sorry to allergy having viewers ;v;
@@meganimation already sick, might as well😹
thank you, really needed this advice rn
Hey, I don't know you and I don't know why you appeared in my feed, but thanks for this message, i really overworked myself with my comic, hearing this tip again helped me understand more my situation!
Thanks. I’ve been feeling burnt out by life in general but a good spot I have to unwind myself is a park by the ocean with a frozen lemonade truck and I enjoy myself as I sip down on it while staring at the ocean which I always found peaceful
There are a bunch of great trails near Monrovia if you're in the LA area that can be relatively quiet if you pick the right time of day.
This video is E X A C T L Y what i was Needing. Thanks A LOT ♥️♥️🥺
This was very reaffirming! I just spent most of today "smelling trees", while trimming my shrubs lol I know that could be seen as "still working" but it was actually a great distraction. I've been struggling with feelings of "burnout" lately, and I knew I needed to step away from the screen, and "touch some grass" lol It can be difficult if you're a work-a-holic, but breaks MUST be taken, for your own sake and sanity 😵 Very timely upload lol Thanks for sharing! ❤
A very great video, that I think everyone can learn from! Amazing.
I'm coming around to admitting that I have burnt myself out on art recently. When i was in school i used to churn out art evert day even being able to post every other day, now i dread even picking up a pencil to doodle. I kills me because i know i want to draw and post regularly at the same time I feel exhausted just thinking about doing it.
Needed to see this
hope it helps you!!
Brb running to smell a tree. Thank you meg!! I’m literally laying under blankets right now trying to take my mind off the work I need to do. It’s a freaking Sunday.
The hardest thing for me is that I find inspiration in many of my downtime activities, like watching movies or playing games, and that makes me want to draw!.. which makes me feel guilty for not drawing the things I NEED to work on. >+o
Anyways, glad I stumbled on this video, love your work, and hey. You’ve been doing lots of storyboards… should you go smell a tree?
Hi Megan, writer here. UA-cam recommended your vid to me, and I often feel that need to be productive even during breaks. Thanks for the reminder to take *actual* breaks haha
omg megan i literally just bought tickets to iceland tho lol
take lots of pictures!!! 😍
Yes I shall go smell a tree.
Rats! I forgot I can't smell. But seriously this is great advice and I think this is just what I needed to hear to beat my burn out. Thank you.
I'm not in burnout, my brain simply never wants to do anything since i was born, like literally, it feels like my brain just doesn't even want to exist in the first place, i just want to lay down and laying for eternity without doing anything, i have a dream of being a cool artist, but i don't actually want to do anything for it, same with anything in this life, and i'm suffer from it because it feels like i'm wasting my life and missing something even tho i realize this is not something i like/enjoy and want to do, i'm just a broken person, this world is not for me.
Have you thought you might have depression or adhd? This is what my adhd has done to me, look into that maybe? You're not broken, you never have been and never will be, you're just struggling (and tbf, the world isn't built for anyone lol)
@@gemmashaw1561 can you spare me from your western/european obsession with putting a labels with ADHD and depression onto everything?
